Regional CDL-A Flatbed Drivers
Home Every Weekend | Family-Owned Since 1928
Tired of being a truck number instead of a name? Join a family-owned flatbed carrier where
you're home every weekend, your paycheck is predictable, and your truck is set up to make
your life easier on the road.
About Summerford Truck Line
Summerford Truck Line is a family-owned flatbed company based in Ashford, Alabama,
with over 98 years and four generations in the business. We've grown into a nationally
recognized carrier, but we still run on small-company values: safety, respect, and doing
things the right way.

Generally clean MVR: no more than two moving violations in the last three years
Strong safety record and professional attitude
Willingness to handle tarping (more frequent in winter than in summer)
Why Drivers Stay
Our drivers consistently point to three reasons they stay with Summerford: they're home
when we say they'll be, their pay is steady and competitive, and they're treated like part of
the family, not just a truck number. With nearly a century on the road, we've built a culture
where you can build a long-term, stable career—not just your next job.
